Location: University of Leeds, Woodhouse Lane, LS2 9JT

Event Information:  Squire Patton Boggs is a full-service global law firm whom provide insight at the point where law, business and government meet, giving individuals a voice, supporting ambitions and achieving successful outcomes. Founded in Bradford in 1886 as Hammonds, the modern-day Squire Patton Boggs has more than 40 offices across four continents, providing unrivalled access to expertise and invaluable connections on the ground and we’ve managed to bag a behind the scenes visit to their office in Leeds! You’ll be invited to take a tour of the Squires office and will take part in a bespoke workshop finding out about their creative and cutting edge legal work, the breadth of roles that are available in the sector, and hopefully dispel some myths about a career in the ‘corporate’ world. Afterwards, you’ll have the opportunity to ask the experts those all-important questions you’ve been eager to know the answers to! A panel of practising and trainee lawyers will divulge the array of routes into the sector and the skills needed to successfully tackle complex and challenging cases to keep clients happy!

You MUST arrive on time at 9:30am as we will be selecting your free lunch in the Refectory prior to walking to Squires Patton Boggs. At the end of the event, staff will walk all students to outside of Leeds Train Station where you will then be signed out.

Subject areas: Law of course, but we think this visit would also suit anyone looking to gain an insight into careers in business/professional services, marketing and corporate firms!
